New rules for snowmobiles
Mannino Board
making changes
F)!cPtq. P941101 learned
Tuesday night the .Plahriing
Board has authorized town
solicitor P. la RaYMPild to
prepare a draft bylaw that could
implement subdivision control in
the cninnaAPitY. tinder such a bylaw, certain
lauds would be tied up until
such time as a aubdiVisibil plan
was provided. Lots could 110 lie
sold from the Parcels of land
which were designated under
such a bylaw.
Council also anProYed a
recoMmendatien from the
Planning Board that
an, agreement be sought with R.
E. Pooley and Fred Darling to
prOVide a right of way through
properties Awned by them for an
extension of Pryde Boulevard
through to. Huron Street,
Joe Wooden, secretary of the
board, noted it would be an
advantage to the land owners to
agree on such a proposal as it
would alleviate the necessity of
having some of their lands
placed under the proposed
subdivision control bylaw,
In accepting the
recommendation, council agreed
that the agreement with the two
land owners was in no way to
suggest that the construction of
the street would be undertaken
by the town.

Trustees for the police
villages of Centralia and
Dashwood were acclaimed to

meetings while another
nomination is necessary to
complete the three-man slate in
Crediton.

Schroeder were returned to
office.

Girls complete
most projects
Members of Huron County
4-H agricultural clubs who have
completed their projects this
year will receive their awards at
the annual 4-H achievement
night in Seaforth High School
Friday evening at 8 pm.
It has been estimated by D.
G. Inglis, extension assistant for
Huron for the Ontario
department of agriculture and
food, that 95 percent of the 425
projects started last spring in 24
clubs have been completed.
equal pay for
equal work
In order to protect the grow-
ing segment of women in the
labour force the existing
legislation covering equal
pay for equal work under
the Human Rights Code has
been strengthened and trans-
ferred to the Employment
Standards Act. This provi-
sion ensures that a woman
who does the same job as a
man in the same establish-
ment is entitled to the same
pay. The question of what
is equal work will be deter-
mined on the basis of skill,
effort, responsibility and
working conditions.
THIRD SHIFT.
No girl under 18 years
shall work in an establish-
ment between midnight and
6 aim.
If a woman works on a
shift that begins or ends
between 12:00 midnight and
6 a.m. her employer must
provide transportation from
her residence to the job or
from the job to her home.
vacations with pay
The Act provides that every
employee shall be given an
annual paid vacation of at
least one week after one year
of employment. The yam-,
don pay Must not be less
than 2% of the total pay
received in the year in which
the vacation is given. When
an employee works for a
period less than one year he
is entitled to 2% vacation
pay for the period worked.
After three years of employ-
tient, the mininium is two
weeks paid vacation and the
pay must not be less than
4% of the annual earnings.
The Vacation with Pay
stamp book system for con,
strUction workers will be
phased out between January
1, 1970 and June 80, 19704
protection for
homeworkers
Any person doing homework
as defined in the new Act
is now considered to be an
employee and is protected
by the legislation.
Employers are required to
provide a statement of wages
and deductions to each em-
ployee at the time wages are
paid. It must show: pay
period, rate of wages,
amount of wages, all deduc-
tions and the purpose of
each, allowances and the net
amount being paid the em-
ployee. Deductions include
those authorized by the
employee and such usual
deductions as Unemploy-
ment Insurance, Income
Tax, Canada Pension,
Company Pension Plan and
Hospitalization.
collection of
unpaid wages
The department may now
collect unpaid wages for an
employee including the
amount of wages due, over-
time pay and vacation pay
up to a maximum of $1,000.
Formerly collection could be
made for wages only up to
the level of the minimum
wage.
NOTE

the province tinder the juris-
diction of the Federal Govern-
ment such as banks, airlines,
railways etc. These industries

you, call the Employment
Standards Branch (`relephone:
365-5251), for information.

Toronto 1A, Ontario
New regulations respecting
insurance, equipment
requirements, driving rules and
registration of motorized snow
vehicles,were announced recently
by Hon. Irwin Haskett, Minister
of Transport for Ontario. It is
anticipated that there will be
about 70,000 of these vehicles in
the Province at the end of this
winter season.
The new legislation, which
became effective on November
1, stipulates that a motorized
snow vehicle must not be
operated on a highway, unless its
operator is insured under a
motor vehicle liability policy in
accordance with the Insurance
Act. The owner is required to
produce evidence on request.
The operator is not required
to have any type of driver's
licence — but no one under the
age of 16 is allowed to drive on a
highway.
A motorized snow vehicle
must have at least one white or
amber light on the front and one
red light on the back, if it is to
be operated on a highway at a
time when lights are required.
Many of the rules of the road
found in the Highway Traffic
Act, have been incorporated itipa
the new motorized snow vehicle
legislation in order to regulate
their operation while travelling
on a highway. There also is an
offence for operating one of
these vehicles without due care
and attention or without
reasonable consideration for
other persons, applicable both
on and off the highway.
However, there are some
major differences from the rules
of the road found in the
Highway Traffic Act. For
example, the driver of a
motorized snow vehicle about to
enter or cross a roadway from
property adjoining the roadway
must bring the vehicle to a
complete stop and upon entering
the roadway yield the right of
way to all oncoming traffic
which constitutes a hazard. He
must also enter or cross the
roadway at an angle of
approximately 90 degrees. A
stop is also required before
crossing a railway and the
crossing must be made at the
same approximate angle.
Operation of motorized snow
vehicles is prohibited on the
King's Highways except where
designated by regulation.
Schedules describing those parts
of the King's Highways where
motorized snow vehicles may be
operated can be obtained at
Ontario Department of
Transport offices.
To permit local governments
to encourage winter sports
activities, operation of
motorized snow vehicles will be
permitted ,on highways under
municipal jurisdiction, except
where prohibited by by-law. r
In order to (enforce'the
regulations, it is necessary td' be
able to identify each motorized
snow vehicle. For that reason,
each must be registered before it
can be operated anywhere in this
Province — on or off the
highway. The registration fee is
$4.00 and the permit is valid for
the two-year period from
